Welcoming Shabbat with a Mariachi Version of Lecha Dodi by Cantor Gaston Bogomolni

Argentinean-born Cantor Gastón Bogomolni of the Beth Torah Benny Rok Campus in North Miami Beach is a versatile, soulful, and energetic edu-tainer and performer.  

Prior to his arrival to the US in 2002, Cantor Gastón worked and organized multiple Jewish events in the Dominican Republic, Europe, and South America. 

Cantor Gastón’s embracing of Ashkenazic, Sephardic, Neo-Hassidic, Renewal, Latin and Folk background allow him to create a unique spiritual experience when davening at shul.

Back in 2004 Cantor Gastón got a special gift to record the album of his dreams: a Latin-Jewish recording. Each song in the album was crafted and designed to have a connection between the text of the liturgy and the special Latin American style. 

Lecha Dodi was set to a Ranchera style (from Mexico) having in mind that a group of Mariachis would be welcoming and serenading the Bride and Queen of Shabbat.

Enjoy and Shabbat Shalom!
